remember when there was the Killer bee scare? The only way to kill them was to breed them out yet in the process they have eliminate a lot of our honey bees! Now this is what I was told. Truth? I could be mistaken

How about a serious answer. I recently found out that pesticides are now being genetically put into vegetable seeds. When I heard this I decided that organic seeds for my garden would be best. I’m pretty sure that this is why so many bees are dying. The vegetables are booby trapped, and just maybe killing off the very insect that it needs.

No but they do pollenize the vegetable plants. I didn’t say they ate the vegetables. We all know that bees collect pollen right??? I come from a family of bee keepers. I may be one of the most removed from that line of work but I do know that much. They collect the pollen and take it back to the hive. Then the pesticide is introduced to the hive and all the other bees.

My daughter was stung 27 times in the head when she was four years old. Living on the outside of Bakersfield, we were surrounded by Bee hives & Bees. But I digress, because she was stung so many time her little body was unable to handle all the toxins, she went into anaphylactic shock, she now carries an Epi-pen wherever she god. Still, she nor I hate bees! We NEED BEES!! If I want avocado’s, I need bees to pollenate my trees, my flowers

Did you know if a hive is poisoned that the bees will never build in that spot again. So if the poison is in the hive they abandon their home. To top it off a lot of the time it’s not enough to kill the whole hive off just enough to mess with the their little inner compasses, and senses that make them do what they do so well.
